I do have a lot albums with different volume level when they are played. Currently it is set to “Auto” - but I still have to adjust volume level depending on what I am playing.
I have been reading in the “Help” section but I cant find the right setting?
How do I make all my songs the same volume level? What would be the best settings?

Have you tried the other settings and listened to the difference they make?
FWIW the latest AES recommendations are to use album levelling and -16LUFS.
Album level will keep the mastering engineer’s afjustment between tracks on the same album (which is generally right).
I’ve been using this for a while - and it works pretty well - except on some very quiet classical recordings.
The AES paper is very technical - but here is a (still pretty technical) summary AES Update Loudness Recommendations For Audio Only Streaming | Production Expert
You seemed to say different albums were at different levels. Selecting album will level within an album not between albums.
Keep in mind, Volume Leveling IS DSP.
You absolutely right 
THX Rugby - is that bad or good? Sorry - I am still new to this topic What is your suggestion?
Ist better from a SQ to have it “off”?
It is neither actually.
There are certain processes like native DSD playback that require no DSP be used, otherwise, it will be converted to PCM. Which you may not want.
It was just a reminder that volume leveling as that is DSP, but, is not found on the DSP page. Some users only go to the actual DSP section to turn DSP off, forgetting that volume leveling also would need to be turned off in such a situation.
I’d try track instead.
Track leveling adjusts each track individually- so doesn’t preserve the level change across an album (which is usually done by the mastering engineer).
Album leveling adjusts each track by the relative loudness of the overall album it’s from.

And FWIW no one involved the mixing / mastering the album would think twice about making sound level adjustments with DSP at high bit depths, although it’s correct to say the result isn’t bit perfect!
This is wrong. Selecting “Album” will not level within an album but from album to album. The idea being that the album was created with certain track to track volume differences for creative purposes so those differences stay the same. In other words, the entire album will play back at the same adjustment regardless of differences in individual tracks.
There is a FAQ on Roon’s Volume Leveling here.
The relevant portion
Roon supports four Volume Leveling modes:
Off - disable volume leveling for this zone.
Track - Performs adjustments on a track-by-track basis. This produces the most consistent volume level during a playback session, but may result in unpleasant jumps in volume during playback of a gapless album.
Album - Performs adjustments on an album-by-album basis. This means that the entirety of an album plays back with the same adjustment, and there are no perceived volume jumps at track boundaries.
Auto - Uses track adjustments when playing adjacent tracks from different albums, and album level adjustments when playing adjacent tracks from the same album.
Yes your right it’s a long time since I read the FAQ.
